Our Hourglass (Sequel to Perfectly Photogenic)

Chapter 6

Today Ryan and I were helping Vinny move into Emilee's. For one person, Vinny sure did have a lot of stuff.

"You going to be okay with this?" I asked Emilee.

"Of course, why not?"

"Those." I pointed to Ryan and Vinny carrying drum equipment into the house. "I hope you stocked up on Excedrin."

"We'll be fine." She giggled. "Thanks for all the help though." Emilee smiled.

"No problem."

"Did you ever discuss that topic with Ryan?" Emilee winked, nudging my shoulder.

"Close, but we sort of argued and I started the next morning, so I was miserable."

"Don't worry, you and Ryan have plenty of time. In the meantime, let's grab some food, I'm starving."

Emilee and I asked the guys what they wanted to eat and we got into her car, driving off to Panera since that's what we all agreed on.

Ryan's POV

"Where do you want this box at?" I asked, nearly out of breath as I struggled to carry a moving box in the house.

"Uh."

"Today, Vinny!"

"Just set it in the kitchen."

I hurried into the kitchen and set the box down, panting. I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to get my breathing and heart rate back to normal.

"Is that the last box?"

"I sure hope so." I said, walking back into the living room to sit on Emilee's couch.

"This is awesome! I'm living with my girl." Vinny smiled ear to ear.

"A few days before you were acting off about this, not to mention your screaming match on the bus and now you're elated. What's going on with you and Emilee?"

Vinny sighed, sitting next to me and thought very carefully with what he was about to say. "I just feel like I'm going to screw up and she'll kick me out. I'm too in love with Emilee that I hope I never see that day. Emilee's something else, man." He smiled. "Definitely going to put a ring on it."

"Woah! Are you serious?"

"Dead."

"You didn't strike me as the marrying type."

"I'm not proposing tonight, but one day I will." Vinny smiled. "Emilee is my Brianne, dude."

"I'm happy for you, Vinny."

"How is it being married?"

"I get to live and spend the rest of my life with the greatest person I've ever met. You have your good days and you'll have your bad days too, but you work as a team to get through those bad days. Brianne is really special to me and I would be totally lost without her."

Emilee's car pulled into the driveway and I saw the girls come walking up to the front door with food. Vinny got up from the couch and opened the door and helped Emilee as she walked further into the house.

Brianne smiled at me as she walked over with our food. She sat next to me, taking the containers out of the bag and handed one over to me.

"I love you." I smiled, whispering in her ear. She turned and smiled back at me.

"I love you too."

We all talked about random things from tour to upcoming events we had. I sat back on the couch, watching and smiling as Brianne talked about her photography and the studio with Emilee and Vinny.

I think I was in the wrong with her about having a baby the other night.

I'm her husband and I should give her whatever she wants. Alright, Brianne, you want a baby? Consider me in.

Brianne's POV

We said goodbye to Emilee and Vinny, Ryan practically pulling on my hand as we stood by the door.

"Thanks again for all the help. I'll see you tomorrow at work." Emilee said, hugging me.

"Bye." I waved, being pulled over to the car. "Ryan, what the hell?" I complained, rubbing my wrist.

Ryan didn't say a word, but get into the car, starting it. I got in and he pulled out of Emilee's driveway, heading back to our house. I was extremely confused. Did I say or do something wrong? I don't think I did.

We arrived back home, both Ryan and I getting out of the car. We walked inside and I was pushed up against the wall, Ryan staring me down with dilated pupils.

"What in the hell are you doing?!"

"Shhh." Ryan said, leaning forward to kiss my neck.

"Uh, you know we can't, right? I still have three days left."

Ryan backed away, sighing and cursing under his breath. He walked into the living room and took a seat on the couch.

"Ryan, what's wrong?" I asked, walking in shortly.

"While you and Emilee were getting lunch, Vinny and I started talking."

"Oh god."

"It had nothing to do with what just happened, well maybe a bit. Anyway, he was going on about how much Emilee means to him and how serious they're getting. Vinny asked me what it's like to be married and I said it's like teamwork. You get to be with your best friend for life and that you are really special to me and I'd be lost without you."

"That's so sweet, but I'm confused." I furrowed my brows, sitting next to him.

"Brianne, you're special to me and you mean so much, you're my wife and I want to give you everything, including a baby."

My eyes nearly popped out of my skull. Was Ryan really being serious about this?

"You want a baby?" I asked, a small smile appearing on my face.

"Yes." Ryan smiled back at me.

"But what about recording for the new album, your tour and me running the studio? Ryan, this really should wait."

"We can work around it and I promise I'm going to be there for you. So, can we start trying?"

"You really want this, huh?"

"More than anything."

"Okay." I smiled. "Come see me in three days."

What do you guys think about them trying for a baby?
